Thanks Kathy-
I looked up the info about these two wilts again- and believe it was
Fusarium wilt that was the problem. I hope I am right, because I just read
not to plant strawberries were Vertisilium wilt was, as they are suceptible.
I have planted strawberries nearby the effected area of the garden. I was
wondering if I could plant sweet corn in the area? What do you think??

I had a Japanese maple that died of verticillium wilt. Will never plant
a maple in that location again. I suspect that attempting to rid the
soil of the organism would be an exercise in futility. How big is your
garden? Can you do tomatoes and their relatives anywhere else? If not,
investigate resistant tomatoes. My problem with solarizing is the length
of time required. It is my understanding that you would probably have to
spend a growing season doing it to be effective. As for alternative
crops, if you are not sure which you have, lettuce and carrots are the
only vegetables resistant to both.
